> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > Scylla, aren’t #13 on the Don’t Care list and #4 on the Do Care list at odds with each other? Beat me to it. That’s a big contradiction. Also: 1. Politics. I used to care about this a lot. But, it really doesn’t matter. Politics are like sports. The result of who wins changes nothing. Tell that to the gay people who can now get married, or the illegal immigrants who may have to go home, or the anonymous middle eastern people who may or may not get bombed. Unless one doesn’t care about anyone other than themselves, it does matter. ---

Well, you’re just another Joe as far as I’m concerned. I agree. My brother is in the Air Force and got back from Afghanistan. He worked in the airport doing weather. Sure, there’s some risk, but it’s not like he was on patrol in the mountains. ---

> [@Finagle](#): > > I think the official word from septic tank experts is that all you really need to do to give your septic bacteria a boost is to use it as intended. The occasional White Castle burger will provide all the boost it needs. This is 100% correctamundo. Those companies selling bacteria to put down there? Snake oil designed purely to separate someone from their money. Back to shit you don’t care about, now that we’ve eliminated one you don’t have to anyway! ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > Football. I come home from second shift wanting my Colbert fix only to find it’s be pushed back for some game. Then an interminable postgame show wherein some big guys in expensive suits sit around a desk and tell people what they’ve just seen. Then the yokel news has to follow that, as if their demo hadn’t already fallen asleep. I hear you. Also, how is it that it only takes one or two people to tell you all the day’s news worldwide, while it takes at least five people (one of whom is guaranteed to be named ‘Boomer’) to go over the day’s football events? Meanwhile, a non-comprehensive list of things I don’t care about: All College- and most pro-level sports Beer What brand of gin goes in my G & T Most holidays outside of Christmas (I mean I’m happy for the day off; they just don’t mean a whole lot to me) Things I do care about: Whether my car looks presentable and runs properly Wine Whether or not there is fresh lime in my G & T The water temperature in the shower. ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > They have the pre-packed White Castle burgers in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store here but I don’t think I’ve seen an actual White Castle restaurant in about 15 years. If not for the availability of White Castle burgers in the supermarket, I’d be making too-frequent trips to New Jersey to get them (I live in south-central PA). As for the beer, just give me a Budweiser. Craft beers are fine, but I’m always in the mood for a Bud. ---
